First Day Of School

Well, today was the first day of school for Felicity, and not only does she have homework, but so do I.  I have to fill out a survey for her teacher that includes Felicity’s likes, personality traits, and general information to help her teacher learn more about her.  I also have a barrage of paperwork [...]

Make A Healthier Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich

As a mother, I’m always looking for ways to make my kid’s food healthier.  Here’s my version of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Start off with 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread.  This will provide a healthy dose of fiber.  The bread I use provides 5 grams of fiber per slice.  Two slices equals [...]

Beach Bunnies

I’m still recovering from our day at the beach.  Felicity didn’t get to pet any dolphins, but she still had a good time.  Chase couldn’t get enough of the water.  Other than getting knocked over by a few strong waves and having our food raided by a flock of seagulls, we really enjoyed ourselves.  None [...]

Off To The Beach

On Wednesday I’m off to take the kids to the beach.  I haven’t been to the beach in years.  So much traffic and nowhere to park are the main reasons.  Felicity is so excited, but has some high expectations.  I hope she doesn’t get disappointed.

“Are we going to a real beach?”

“Yes, we are.”

“What kind of beach [...]

I Need Sleep!!!

Well, in the four days and three nights since we moved Nick to the toddler bed, and  I haven’t slept past 4:00 am.  I have been low on energy and cranky most of the day because I NEED SLEEP!!!  I couldn’t sleep in today, either, because Chase had preschool, and I had a doctor’s appointment, then [...]

Back To School Sales – Updated

If you haven’t already finished buying all your school supplies, now is the time to do it, before the final sales are over.  If you have a Staples near you, I recommend checking out their flyer.  The one in my area still  has some pretty good deals, including pocket folders for a penny each (limit [...]
